Chapter 176: The Rumors of War

It stands to reason that the supreme ruler of a realm should return to the city with a grand welcome ceremony. For example, the roads on both sides of the city gate welcomed people of all ranks, nobles, merchants, priests.

Then there are many songs and dances and flowers to welcome.

But in the city of Crimea, this qiē does not seem to be working. There were only a few dignified people who came to greet Salama and her party, and judging from their dresses, only the emblem of the Hohenstaufen family was on the coat of arms, and the others were more officials than the usual nobles!

In the Roland continent, the status of officials and nobles overlapped, in other words, the status of a nobleman is the lord of a certain region, but he is also an official in the city, or a tax collector who nominally collects taxes for the kingdom.

"Welcome Princess Shalama back to Crimea!" The official at the head was nearly two meters tall, with his sword eyebrows upside down, and the long sword at his waist, this person must be the military governor of the Crimean region.

The rest of the officials were also solemn, looking at Salamma's carriage.

According to Salama, it is also a general custom. There was no fanfare in the city of Crimea, but the heads of the main departments were sent to wait for the car.

The carriage stopped, and the maid respectfully opened the curtain of the carriage in which Salama was riding, and the guard with the sword was also respectful.

The people in the carriage all stepped out of the carriage to show their respect for Salamma. Even the former members of the student council knew that they could no longer face Shalama in the same way as they used to be in the student council, and at the same time there was a hint of joy for Salama in their hearts.

Without losing etiquette, Chu Nan and the three of them also stepped down from the carriage.

and the merchants or travelers who gathered at the city gates. They all stopped curiously and looked at the wagon convoy.

The coat of arms of the Hohenstaufen family was all too familiar to them. I just don't know which person in the Hohenstaufen family will be on it, but it depends on the identity of the official who went out to greet him. The identity of the characters in the carriage is definitely not simple, otherwise there would not be such a face to let the big people in the Crimean City go out to greet them.

Some of the shrewd people already know that the recent political turmoil in the HRE Empire has put the nominal royal family of Hohenstaufen in jeopardy, and the air is filled with the oppressive smell of the coming rain.

The Crimea, one of the few Hohenstaufen fiefdoms, is likely to become a battleground in the midst of the turmoil that is about to ensue.

On the one hand, the people of the Crimean region do not want to face the war that will ensue, and on the other hand, they do not want to see the Hohenstaufen family driven out of the Crimean region. After several generations of operation, the Crimean region has undergone drastic changes. At the same time, the policy guidelines of the Crimean region have also benefited ordinary people a lot. If there is a different lord, whether it can be like the Hohenstaufen family again is two words. In order to protect their homeland, many of the youth of the Crimean region are ready for battle.

Put on leather armor, pick up spears and bows, ride on hussars, shout the trumpet of war, and defend your homeland! In the long-term battle with the orcs, the people of the Crimean region are fierce and practice martial arts. In particular, the nomads on the border line have grown up with bows, arrows, and horses! Compared with the professional knight class, it is not in vain! In particular, the Crimean region is in the place where it is at the junction with the centaurs, and the maneuverability of the centaurs coming and going like the wind made the Crimean people frightened in the early days, and the people of the Crimean region began to learn the high mobility of the centaurs in order to defend their homeland.

In the midst of years of confrontation between the Jade Centaurs, and the vast plains of the Crimean region. The people of the Crimean region were in no way inferior to the orc centaur tribes in terms of horsemanship. In particular, one-handed archery is like an arm.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, such a strange landscape was formed at the gates of the city of Crimea. Looking down from the perspective of an eagle in the sky, a circle of people appeared at the gate of the city. At the very center of the wave is a wagon.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. Did the people of the Hohenstaufen family carrying the carriage indicate that war was about to take place?

As the fiefdom of the Hohenstaufen family. The Crimean region was nominally subordinate to the Hohenstaufen family, but the Hohenstauffen family was divided into several factions, which fought with each other. The Crimean region is one of those factions, not the private domain of the current emperor!

The Crimean region has been in business for many years, and the people's livelihood is thriving and prosperous, and it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above, and it is completely the head of the private territory of the Shalama family. In fact, it is true that the Shalama family has stopped running a drop of water here. On the Great Plains, the Crimean City is the center of the towns and villages, and there are many people who are engaged in herding, so there are still white tents in the Crimean area!

If the big man of the Shalama family arrives here, it will indicate that the Hohenstaufen family has completely lost power in the throne of the HRE Empire, and what awaits them will be an army from all sides! Unfortunately, however, Shalama's father is the only seed of the Salama family! There are no siblings, and Salama is also the only seedling!

What should be done with this empty area? Legally, the lord of this area should be Shalama, but Shalama was too young to take on this important task at the time.

What's more, the people of the Hohenstaufen family will not let go of this great area, they can help Shalama to "manage" the Crimean region on their behalf, and wait until Shalama is an adult before giving it to her.

But everyone knows that it is impossible to give it to her when she is an adult!

But the people of the Hohenstaufen family had no idea that the bureaucracy in the Crimean region had been built so monolithically, and that those who had been installed in it would be boycotted as soon as they took office!

The government's decrees are not working, the military generals do not listen to their orders, the economic tax collectors ignore them, and even the small soldiers and officials in the city resist it......!

PS: Thank you for the reward......

It's been a reward for the first time in many days.
